Question:

The following table shows the consumer price index (CPI) for the years 2013–2018.

a) Determine the linear correlation coefficient, r, between the year and the CPI.

b) If 2013 is subtracted from each year, the table obtained becomes:

If r is calculated from these values, how will it compare with the r determined in part (a)? Explain.

c) Calculate r from the values in part (b) and compare the results with the value of r determined in part (a). Are they the same? If not, explain why.
